This man said he looked upon a car as a necessity; and Johnny very quickly adopted his point of view and began to think how extravagant he was not to own one.

Why, take this trip, for instance.
If he owned the car himself, all it would cost him to go to Inglewood would be the gas he would burn.

An automobile of your own sure did mean a big saving all around--time and money.

Take a job like this man Lowell had offered, why, he could very soon own a car.
